On the occasion of the 4th day of the Nations League, the French team lost at home against Croatia (0-1). This new defeat will force Les Bleus to fight for the maintenance in League A. The world champion and Nations League title holder France punctuated its June gathering without a win.
Deprived of victory during the first 3 days of the Nations League, the French team had to react imperatively to remain in the race for the Final 4. Result, the world champions failed again and lost against Croatia (0-1) at the Stade de France. Konate’s clumsiness Despite the obligation to win, Les Bleus were almost caught cold in this game. After a seemingly innocuous corner, the referee whistled a penalty for a foul by Konate on Budimir. The contact seemed very light on the first images, but the central defender was guilty of a clumsy penalty. Nevertheless, Modric (0-1, 5th) opened the score even if Maignan had gone the right way. The French team then tried to react, notably through Mbappé who was in good form but often inaccurate, and even unlucky when the referee forgot a gross foul by Kovacic on the Parisian. What accentuates the nervousness of the French against the man in black.
Man of the match: Luka Modric (8/10) On the momentum of his season with Real Madrid, the Croatian midfielder has again regaled! Without talking about his famous outside foot or his penalty, the quality of his ball taking and his passes have dazzled the first half. He logically lowered his foot during the second half, knowing that he did not spare his efforts in the pressing.
